Summer Road Trip Tips for Traveling with Kids

-
With some recent recommendations lifted, more and more families plan to travel in the coming weeks. If you're itching for a getaway, our Lake of the Ozarks car dealership is here for you! We understand traveling with children can present its own set of unique challenges but we're here to help you better prepare for your upcoming family vacation. Here at Hulett Chevrolet Buick GMC, we want to help make your travel experience the best possible and the tips below can do just that!


Fuel (for your vehicle and humans) is important!

While keeping your tank full is important - that's not the kind of fuel we're talking about. Be sure to pack plenty of snacks for your family. Having snack food on hand can help avoid having to stop every few hours at a gas station. This can also save you a bundle if you purchase bulk snacks ahead of time. Don't forget to keep you and your crew hydrated, as well. Consider keeping a small cooler with water bottles and other drinks readily available. This is another way to cut down on travel expenses and extra stops.

Make regular pit stops!

As you plan out your adventure, consider regular breaks along your route. A huge perk of taking a road trip is the ability to stop at various attractions along the way. Plan extra time to stop at a roadside park for a few minutes on the jungle gym or a fun attraction along the way. These types of stops are what makes road trips so memorable for your family. It's also important for your kids to get out of their seats and stretch their legs (and run off some of that pent-up energy) before loading back up for the next leg of your trip.


Have entertainment options at the ready!

Entertaining your family on a road trip is no small feat. It's key to have a variety of activities for everyone to enjoy. Consider car-friendly games, road trip games, portable movies or electronic games, and/or favorite music as easy ways to keep your kids entertained. It's important to have a variety to help offer something new every so often. Your kiddos may become bored with one entertainment source and want to move on to the next. Don't forget those good old-fashion road trip games like eye spy, the license plate game, and alphabet game, to name a few.

Now that you know some of these tips for traveling with kids in the vehicle, you're ready to start planning your summer vacation!

5 Reasons Your Check Engine Light Is On

-

It may be a little nerve wracking when your check engine light comes on. Nobody likes to see that their car is deteriorating. Usually, there is no warning or explanation for why the check engine light comes on. When you see this light come on, it means there is a trip to the best auto service department at the Lake of the Ozarks . There are many reasons why a vehicle's check engine light can come on, however, these are the five most common reasons. 1. Gas Cap Is Loose, Damaged or Missing You wouldn't think a gas cap would be that important, but it is. When a gas cap becomes loose or is broken, it can leak out fuel vapors, which can throw the whole fuel system off. If your check engine light comes on, but your car isn't feeling jerky or strange, the first thing you should check is the gas cap. 2. Catalytic Converter Needs Replacing Catalytic converters are another common item that drivers face. The catalytic converter works to reduce exhaust gasses. This is primar
